Big Bald Mountain, also known as Bald Mountain, is a prominent peak in the
Sevogle River, and the South Branch Nepisiguit River. It is a well-known feature, in part because of its height, but especially because of its bald summit (hence the name).[1][2]
Before aerial surveillance was extensively used, a hut was maintained on the summit for fire-spotting in the remote north-central part of the province. A very similar hut was maintained on
wildfires
to be determined quickly and easily.
